Corn Cob Meal.

The practice of feeding cob meal,
Or rather corn and cob meal, is
prevalent throughout Southeastern
Pennsylvania and is spreading to
other localities. The practice orig
mated many years ago as a meas
ure of economy, and the results de-
arrived justify it on the score of
profit as well; and now of the thou
sands of farmers who use this kind
of feed none can be induced to give
it up for the old fashioned clear
corn meal. There is not much nu
triment in the cob after it gets dry,
but there is some until it has
reached that state. Nevertheless
the practical German farmer prefer
the cob meal even after the cob is
entirely dry, although they cannot
be said TO deceive themselves by
the notion that there is nourish-
nent in the dry cobs. When ques-
toned about it they say they are
guided by results, and believe they
get as good results for equal bulk
of cob meal as of clear corn meal,
and in their experience this appears
be true, although those who have
not tried feeding the cob meal
are skeptical.

The County Court system.

Mr.. EDITOR. From over 80 years
observation, aud about l6 years ex
perience, | am prepared to give 1t as
my deliberate opinion that the
county court system OF Tennessee is
the most cum bersome, unwieldy and
bunglesome, and at the same time
the MIST expensive, to be found
anywhere and ought to be abolish
ed. And | do hereby most earnest
ly askthe present legislature to wipe
out the thing and give US a new
county court composed of four good
intelligent business men selected by
the people from the'four quarters
of the county for four years, who,
together with the. county or pro
bate judge, shall constitute the
county or quarterly court, These
four men at $1,000 day ($S.00) will
do the business quicker, better and
cheaper than fifty justices at $3.50
a day ($75.00).
8 Let DR.. Harwell, Mr.. Yancy or
Mr.. Ewing formulate a bill on the
above basis, giving necessary de-
tails, etc, and be will make himself
a name, in the opinion Of
AN OLD JUSTICE.

Washing Made Easv.

We saw long line of beautifully
washed clothes hanging out 1T a
neighbours house recently at an I'M
usually early hour. She assured US
that she had not done it all that
morning, but had had it going on
while she slept, and that it was ac-
complished in this wise: "The eve.
ming before wash day l sort over
the soiled clothes, and pack in tubs.
| then pour over them lukewarm
water, adding enough of soap to
make a slight suds, and to every
patent pail of water put one ia
hlespoonful of lamp oil. In the
morning ! wash, boil, and rinse, af-
ter the usual manner. BY this
manner OF using lamp oil, l find
that my clothes will be clean and OF
whittier texture than by any other
method haye ever found to make
washing easy. And l think II is
better for the clothing than to rub
SO hard on the board as we usually
do. / think l can claim the right
of inventing this plan. A friend
told me her plan vas to add oil as
do, soak over night. then wiring out
in the morning and boil, then rinse
but found this would not remove
dirt from farm clothing, so l added
the soaking over night to my usual
manner Of washing, and l find j,
takes away more than the half OF
wash DAYS terror" -Ex.

Interstate Commerce.

The bill passed the senate hy n
vote Of 45 to Is and the house bv
an equally overwhelming majority.
Its effects annot be foretold. The
railroad people talk gloomily. 1t
will have TO he tried. For the in
formation Of CITIZEN readers We
print condensed synop-is as fol
lows:
First. That all charges shall be
reasonable and just.
Second. That there should be no
discrimination between persons or
firms, either directly or indirectly,
by special rate, rebate, drawback,
or any other device, but that all
shall be treated equally AND alike
for like and contemporaneous ser
vice.
Third. That no undue or unrea
sonable preference or advantage
shall be given to any particular per-
son, firm, company, corporation or
locality.
Fourth. That no greater compen-
sation shall be charged for the
short :hsn the long haul, where
both are made under substantially
similar conditions and circum stan
ces over the same line and in the
same direction, provided that in
special cases, upon application to
the commissioner, they may upon
investigation relsx the rule; and
provided further, that nothing con
tanned in the bill shall be copstru-
ed TO authorize the charge of as
much for the short as the long haul
Fifth. 1t declares Unlawful any
Gem bin alton, contract or agreement
between railroad corporations fol-
the pooling of freights of differen,
and competing roads, or to divide
between them the earnings of such
roads, provides penalties and de
clares each day of the violation o.
the law a separate offense.
| Sixth. 1t requires all schedules
OF rates plainly printed and posted
at all depots and stations for pub.
lie inspection. 1t forbids any ad-
vance in rates as published excep,
upon ten days notice duly publish

| These are the leading salient
points Of the bill, the remainder o
it being mainly administrative il

methods of enforcing the provision
named.

How to.Prepare Nice Steak for Breakfast,
Net fong since friend and l
we're talking about some nice beef
we had purchased that day. An
old hatcher who was present said :
"Now if you only knew how to cook
it to make it good that wonld do.
but it always makes me sick to see
woman cook steak. She inva-
riably puts her fryiug-pan on the
stove, and puts in a chunk of grease
about as big as my fist; and when
| it is hot enough to begin to crack
lie, she puts in her beef, and never
thinks of recovering it. The smoke
and steam from it goes to the very
ceiling. After she cooks it this
way until it begins to look like an
old rubber shoe sole, she calls it
done. When you go to eat it there
is no more taste in it than a chip
Now if you want a good bit of
steak, have clear, hot fire, set
your clean empty pan on spot
cover it up, then pound your steak
and when the pan is very hot lay in
the steak, and cover quickly. AS
soon as it crisps enough to let go lis
hold on the pan, turn over and Gov
er quickly; turn again as at first.
and continue to do so about every
two minutes until you have turned
it about six or eight times. Have
hot buttered dish ready for it and
lay it in; add a sprinkling sof pep
per, salt and sugar, and cover tight
ly. Now if you wish gravy, put
bit of butter in your pan. Wher
hot rub in pinch of flour, add s
small teacup of boiling water, let il
boil few minutes, then put in a
gravy boat instead of putting it over
your beef to draw out the juice
Now try this just once, and yor
will see you women know nothing
about cooking a steak" We fol-
lowed the butchers directions an6

The American Dairyman says
Let a drop Of Trash milk. fall into a
glass of pure water. II the milk
promptly disseminates itself through
the water the cow that yielded that
milk is not with calf, but if it sinks
to the bottom of the glass as it falls
upon the water and does not pro-
duce but little of milky cloud the
cow is pregnant. The specific grav-
lty and viscidity of the albuminous
milk being heavy with water thus
retains the drop of milk and causes
is to sink. We advise dairymen to
make a note OF this and give it a
test. If reliable the information
may be of great value to them.

this subject has beSh Investigated
with results that appear rather
staggering to the unprejudiced
mind. The experiments were fairly
conducted in the feeding of both
swine and streers and in both cases
the cob meal proved to be the bet
ter feed, as the animals gained
faster on it than on the clear corn
meal of equal values; demonstrate
ing that there is something good in
cob meal, and that the Pennsylva
MIA German farmers are justified IN
a,practice they are unable to explain
except by results. The writer was
among the skeptics until the winter
of 1880, when by carefully con
Quoted experiments in feeding dali
ry COWS he convinced himself al
most against his will-certainiy
against his prejudices-that for
that kind of stock cob meal is more
profitable than clear corn meal. A
single experiment, like this one of
the writer's, Of course, settles moth
ing, but when it is rein forced by
the rusults obtained at the Iowa Elk
pertinent Station it has more force.
And the prejudice of skeptics must
be based upon something better
than mere opinion before it can
change the faith of those awho be-
lieve in his way of feeding, a way
that is steadily gaining ground in
every neighborhood where it has
been introduced.
Our own explanation of the re
suits in this: The bulk of the ra
ton is increated 1.-THE ground cobs
equal the bulk OF the ground corr
when shelled); and the innutri.
tious ground cob serves as divis-
or to separate the richer particles
of the meal, thus giving the diges
tive organs better opportunity te
exhaust the nutritive parts for as
SINH alton. This is our theory, ant
is given for what IL is worth.
h Stock owners should make some
, experiments with cob meal.

That Address


Surely it is time that the Democratic
State Executive Committee had put
forth the address which the State Cen
tral Committee month ago ordered to
he prepared. Eight weeks from the
day after Tomorrow will como the day
of election.
We do not mean TO imply that the
Executive Committee has not been at
work upon the address. butmerely wish
to remind It's members that when cleo
tions are at the door, delays are danger
Gus.
We do not consider it at all neces-
sary for the Democratic Executive Com
mittee TO reply to MAHoSE's last letter
which is merely personal attack upon
Mr.. BARBOUR. The address signed by
MALONE as chairman Of the Republican
State Committee il the only document
which calls for any notice at the hands
of the Democratic State Executive
Committee. To take up MAHoNE's
personal letter would be 10 give color
TO his charge that all that Mr.. BAR
BoUR is working for in the current cam
paign is to secure seat IN the United
States Senate. This is a matter with
which, therefore, We take it for granted
that the Democratic State Executive
Committee viii not NEEDLE. MAHOyE's
last letter is so plainly spiieful fling
at Mr.. BARBECUE that it demands no eX-
tended notice at the hands Of any Dem
ocratic orator or paper.
We published in full MAHoNE's adj
dress rs chairman Of the Republican
State Committee but We did not print
a single paragraph of his personal at
tack upon singlcpcrson in the Demo
cratic party. Not that the former pa
per was the work os anybody else than
MALONE, assisted perhaps by one or
two Of lis most devoted followers ; but
because the one paper discussed party
questions, whereas the other was no.
thing but a maleyolent attack upon the
man whom MALONE thus himself point
ed ont rs his successor in the United
States Senate.

The Petersburg Ia{cr-AppcH has
had lis attention drawn to the opera
ton of tho new school law in Ohio, of
which We have more than once made
mention ami mentions one or two
facts which We have not yet recorded.
1t says:
In Cincinnati on the 12th the State
law for the first time permitted colored
children TO enter white public schools.
The whole number applying for admis-
sion was about ten. Some of these were
refused because they did not bring
cards from the schools formerly attend
ed, and several were driven away by
white scholars"
IN a northern city having perhaps
five thousand negro children of school
age, only twelve even so much as APP
piled for admission into the white
schools-say one negro out OF five hun
droi or one negro to every five thou
sand white children. But even twelve
negro children were more than the
Shermanite school authorities were
willing TO admit into the same schools
with white children and some of them
were excluded because they did not
come with cards or certificates in their
hands.
But that was not the worst Of it.
Several negro children were "driyen
away by white scholars "
And all this in Ohio, JoHN SHERMAN's
State. He will soon visit Raleigh, and,
during his visit to that city, will strive
to impress upon the negroes whom he
will meet in large numbers there that
lac is opposed to having separate schools
for the whites and blacks, at the same
time that he will strive to impress upon
the minds of the few white Republl-
cans whom he will meet there that he
is not at all to be regarded as an advo-
cate of mixed schools.
And so the silly negroes in Virginia
and North Carolina instead of voting
with their best iriends-the men who
compose the Democratic party, but
who nevertheless do not pretend to re-
gard them as their equals, except as
scitizens,-ally themselves with the Re
publican party, and continue to be
showers Of wood and drawers Of
water" for the Republicans, who must
laugh in their sleeves at the simplicity
OF SAaIBO.
